Katharine and Baby Blood Results-Heart Disease and Hyperthyroidism

So, the cat I thought had heart disease (breathing issues) instead might be developing hyperthyroidism because her thyroid is suddenly up to 3; and the cat I thought had hyperthyroidism (aggression, eating issues) instead has potential heart disease-a gallop rhythm and an increase in her CK value. Katharine will see the cardio in a couple weeks. And Baby will have her thyroid rechecked in a couple months unless she needs it sooner and will have an additional thyroid test done (which I'm sorry but I can't recall what was recommended) if that proves to still be high or higher.

About Me

I have seven cats, one of whom has HCM-Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. I want to share her story, the results we see so far with meds and vitamins and supplements; I want to encourage early heart echos for all cats with heart murmurs or a family history of murmurs/heart disease (even if the cat seems healthy now); and I want to encourage owners to give vitamins and supplements to their HCM cats to improve their condition/heart strength. Then I want us to share as many stories and as much information as we can about feline HCM.
